Brad Thomas is a very dependable all-rounder from the University club who
has long been a leading player in Hobart grade competition. Well built but
of little more than average height, Thomas is a fine right arm pace bowler
and an equally adept right handed batsman. At the bowling crease, he has a
high leading arm and a slightly open-chested mode of delivery which allows
him to move the ball away, predominantly, from right handed batsmen. With
the bat, he is a technically correct player who tends to begin his innings
slowly but who does not take long to play his shots with assurance,
especially through the off side. Thomas has been a member of Tasmanian
Second XI sides in the recent past and his general consistency, not to
mention his reliability under pressure, ensures that he can not be too far
away from attaining a senior state debut. (John Polack, November 2000)
